Fellowship Project Summary

FL250100162 – Multidimensional Targeted Synthesis of Compound Semiconductor PV Materials

Professor Hao aims to accelerate the development of next-generation photovoltaic (PV) materials for tandem solar cells. This project will replace conventional unguided synthesis with a physics-informed, empirically guided, and experimentally validated scalable synthesis platform. The outcomes will include new synthesis technologies and top-cell candidates to enhance silicon-based solar technologies. The research will support Australia’s leadership in renewable energy and enable commercial applications through partnerships and IP licensing.
